My frustrations with Honda have been a constant since I've had vehicle. Other issues like blow hearter wires smoking and catching fire burning my ex wifes leg. Too many details to write.”

NHTSA complaint #10905127, filed 2016-09, 214,000 miles“Takata inflators I took my truck in for recalls but now red light (bag inflator) is on that means they are not on. I talked to Honda they said could be some dirt in my seat belt latch? It comes on as soon as I put my seat belt on.”
NHTSA complaint #11187044, filed 2019-03, 125,000 miles“Takata recall - when I called the Honda dealership in ames they said they could not find my information in their data base. After I gave them my phone number, name, and VIN number. It was not a pleasant experience. I would also like to complain about the brakes on my truck. I took it to the local mechanic and he could not get the brakes adjusted to where there was not very much play in the pedal. You have to push down a long ways for the brakes to engage. It is a big safety issue.”
